Bom ânimo
Tende bom ânimo! Jesus repetiu estas palavras aos seus discípulos em meio às tempestades. No mundo tereis aflições, mas Ele já venceu o mundo — e nos dá coragem para enfrentar tudo.
I have told you these things in order that you may have inner peace because of your relationship with me. In this world you will have trouble. But be courageous! I have defeated those who are opposed to me [MTY], and you can defeat them, too!"
Do not forget [RHQ] that I have commanded you to be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, and do not be discouraged, because I, Yahweh, your God, will ◄be with/help► you wherever you go."
Then Joshua said to them, "Do not be afraid of any of our enemies! Never be discouraged! Be strong and courageous. This is what Yahweh will do to all the enemies you will fight!"
Do not be afraid,
because I will ◄be with/help► you.
Do not be discouraged, because I am your God.
I will enable you to be strong, and I will help you;
I will hold you up with my powerful arm by which you will be rescued.
Remember that God has put his Spirit within us. His Spirit does not cause us to be afraid. Instead, he causes us to be powerful to work for God, and he helps us to love others and to control what we say and do.
I am able ◄to cope with/to handle► every situation because Christ gives me the strength to do that.
You who confidently expect Yahweh to do great things for you,
be strong, be courageous!
On the day when I called out to you, you answered me;
you enabled me to be strong and brave.
Yahweh is the one who gives light to my soul/spirit and the one who saves me,
so I do not [RHQ] need to be afraid of anyone.
Yahweh is the one to whom I go for refuge,
so I will never be afraid.
Immediately Jesus said to us, "Cheer up! It is I. Do not be afraid!"
because they all were terrified when they saw him. But he talked to them. He said to them, "Be calm! Do not be afraid, because it is I!"
Jesus said to her, "◄Ma’am/My dear woman►, because you believed [PRS] that I could heal you, I have healed you. Go from here, and may you experience God’s peace within you."
So, because God’s Spirit lives in us, we are always confident that God will give us new bodies. We know that as long as we have bodies here on earth, we are not yet living together with the Lord Jesus in heaven.
Then on the next day Solomon sent them to their homes. They were very joyful because of all the good things that Yahweh had done for David and Solomon and for all his Israeli people.
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged on account of the king of Assyria and the huge army that is with him, because Yahweh is with us, and his power is greater than their power.
If you act as though you are helpless when you have troubles,
you are truly very weak.
So cheer up, my friends, because I believe that God will make this happen, exactly as the angel told me.
I am completely confident that God, who has begun to do in you what is good, (OR, that since God has begun to do in you what is good, he) will continue to do that until he finishes doing it on the day Christ Jesus [MTY] returns.
You rejoice because of what will happen then, but now you are grieving for a short time while God is allowing you to be tested {various things to test you [MET]}, as precious metals are tested {someone tests precious metals} to see if they are pure. These trials that you are experiencing are necessary
Yahweh rescues righteous people;
in times of trouble he protects them [MET].
I pray this because I long to visit you to help you spiritually, in order that you will become stronger spiritually. I long to visit you in order that you and I might encourage each other by means of our sharing with each other how each of us trusts in Jesus.
So, because we know that as a result of our suffering many people will honor God, we (exc) never get so discouraged that we stop teaching his message. Although our bodies are getting weaker, God encourages us every day and strengthens us spiritually.
Because you know that this is true, continue to encourage/comfort each other, as indeed you now are doing.
My fellow believers, even though we are suffering very much [DOU] because of what people are doing to us here, we have been cheered up because Timothy told us about your still trusting in Christ.
The Israeli people answered, "We will never quit serving/worshiping Yahweh! We would never think of [IDM] serving/worshiping other gods! It was our God, Yahweh, who brought our parents and grandparents up out of Egypt. He rescued them from that land where they were slaves. As he rescued them, they saw him perform great miracles. He protected them all the time when they were traveling. He protected them from all the people-groups through whose territory they traveled.
I, Yahweh, know what I have planned for you. I am planning to cause things to go well for you, not to cause you to experience disasters. I am planning to give you many things that you confidently expect to receive in the future.
